I like it a lot! I'd consider looking into a Stoneforge Mystic package and Mirran Crusader over Knight of Glory in the sideboard since your deck wants to attack with one giant creature, but at that point I think I'm just suggesting ways to turn this into a GW goodstuff deck, which I don't think is what you want to do. Maybe cut a couple of 4 drops for some more 2 drops or Birds of Paradise to help with your curve (You run the risk of not doing anything for the first 2 turns of the game, which is a little too slow for modern), but other than that it looks great.

Nubinger: This deck is a little bit too budget to afford Steelshaper's Gift while keeping all the swords. I can't run them both.

I admit Stoneforge Mystic is an excellent card that I overlooked when I built this deck. I'll see what I can cut for it.

Hey hey, I like your build, but to take advantage of the little guy and Ardenn I would reduce cmc drastically. Remove all the 4 cmc and more spells you have right now. None of it is worth keeping it. Also I would reconsider the ramp artifacts you have. In what do you want to ramp into? Your best card is Colossus Hammer so you need to be able to tutor for it Stoneforge Mystic steel shapers gift The best starting hand has two Mana maybe a max 1 cmc ramp spell and cheap equipments. Try to create that setup and you will harvest the tears of your opponents :) Wrath of god or blasphemous act could also be a good addition.

Big changes by the standards of this old deck! Incorporating some fun new cards and moving in a more enchantmentcheavy direction now that Golos el Goloso scratches my ETB creature itch so effectively.

OUT:

Sword of Feast and Famine

Sword of Fire and Ice

Stoneforge Mystic

Baleful Strix

Karmic Guide

Reveillark

Recruiter of the Guard

IN

Mana Vault

Alela, Artful Provocateur

Arcane Signet

Demonic Lore

Kaya's Wrath

Ghostly Flicker

Renounce

I'm splitting the cut cards between Hazezon Muad'Dib: DUNE-Inspired EDH and my aforementioned Golos deck. Of the new additions, Alela seems the most questionable, but I had one laying around and I like that the deck now has THREE alternate commanders hiding in the 99.

• Stoneforge Mystic - Might have been a typo, but I already run 4?

• Aether Vial - Ngl, I've never seen this ran at anything other than a 0 or 4 in terms of copies. The whole point of running low CMC creatures is to abuse Vial. Also it allows me to "flash" in Skyclave and Quelller (On the off chance I didnt leave mana open).

• Confounding Conundrum - It's still new but being able to slow down opposing fetches is huge when you're a fair deck. Also Ghost Quarter/Field of Ruin, after they play their land drop for the turn, will essentially turn them into a Wasteland. Sure they might get a basic bounced back to the hand - but so what? It blew up a (probably) dual land and gave them something inferior.

• Giver of Runes - I agree. Trimming one off wouldn't hurt.

EDIT: Thanks for the input!

I would recommend using 4 Stoneforge Mystics. Its good and all but you have 3 equipments so it doesn't do a ton. I would also recommend not using 4 copies of Aether Vial, it is also good but you are running very low CMC creatures so I would put two in. One more thing is that Confounding Conundrum is good against landfall and Uro decks which are in the meta but 4 copies is suicide even with the draw it does little against aggro or any other strategy besides lands.

Looks like a solid build +1

The only thing I might suggest is that with a relatively low mana curve like you've got, that you might look into adding some Card Draw like from Bazaar of Baghdad, Revitalize, or something along those lines.

You might also get away with less than 24 lands given this deck's low curve; you could even supplement it with Land Tutoring available from cards like Knight of the White Orchid, Tithe, and/or Gift of Estates.

Also, while I acknowledge that he's a little pricey to order singles of, Stoneforge Mystic is hugely beneficial to decks relying on Equipment conditions as a primary Win.

It’s costly, but Stoneforge Mystic would really pull it’s weight here.
